We update the analysis of McIntosh & Gurman [2005, Sol. Phys., 228, 285] to incorporate changes to the automatic EUV Bright Point (BP) detection algorithm of data from the Extreme-ultraviolet Imaging Telescope (EIT) on the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO).

Phys., 228, 285] to incorporate changes to the automatic EUV Bright Point (BP) detection algorithm of data from the Extreme-ultraviolet Imaging Telescope (EIT) on the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO). We discuss the implementation of the BP catalog as a searchable database for the community and some of the basic manipulations on that database. We present the multi-wavelength differential rotation rates for the previous solar cycle and make an initial foray into the connection of this most ubiquitous coronal structure and the larger scale magnetic dynamo.
